James McCraney Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 5, 2023.
James "Jimbo" Ray McCraney, 63 of Daytona Beach, Florida, passed away on November 30, 2023. He was born on October 24, 1960, in Daytona Beach, Florida. Jimbo was known for his fun-loving free spirit and his deep love for fishing.

Jimbo, also known as James Ray McCraney, will be deeply missed by his sisters, Bonnie McCraney, Brenda Fiore (Nick), Jody McCraney (Michele), and his son, Jesse Harrington and his 8 nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his mother, Peggy McCraney, father, James David McCraney, and nephew, Ricky Sanders.

Jimbo's passion for fishing was a testament to his appreciation for the beauty of nature. Whether casting his line in a tranquil lake or braving the waves of the ocean, he found solace and joy in the art of fishing.

His lively personality left an indelible mark on all who knew him. Jimbo's adventurous spirit and ability to find happiness in the simplest of moments were truly remarkable. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

A private memorial service will be held to honor and remember Jimbo's life.

May Jimbo McCraney's soul find eternal rest, and may his memory be cherished by those who loved him.
